Ye Tian came to Sotheby's Building with Jason, not Betty. She went to work and didn't have time.

Originally, Ye Tian wanted to come alone. When Jason came to pick up the antiques in the morning, he inadvertently heard about it and immediately volunteered to follow him. He couldn't even care about making money!

The auction they are participating in today is a special auction of ‘Impressionism and Modern Art’.

In today's special auction, Ye Tian has a total of four artworks.

Two top oil paintings from the French post-impressionist master Paul Cezanne, and.

The other two are also impressionist oil paintings, which are not so famous. Compared to Paul Cezanne's oil paintings, they can only be said to be second to none!

However, these two impressionist painters, who are also from France, also have a certain reputation in the field of art. Their works are not bad, and they are more popular in the market!

This special auction is the highlight of Sotheby's autumn auction, and the auction house attaches great importance to it and is attracting much attention from outsiders.

Especially after the appearance of two oil paintings by Paul Cézanne, this special sale has become the focus of everyone's attention in the field of European and American art collection.

Everyone is looking forward to the appearance of these two top oil paintings to see if they can break the record of impressionist oil painting transactions, and even create the highest art auction record ever!

That's Paul Cezanne! His auction price was 274 million US dollars, winning the highest record of art auction in one fell swoop!

The two oil paintings sold this time are both representative works of their peak period. The artistic level is limited even if it is barely close, so it is inevitable to make a high price!

Maybe these two oil paintings can create a new art auction record and shock the global art collection market. Everything is possible! It is worth looking forward to!

Due to the large number of artworks being auctioned, the special shooting was divided into two halves, with the first half at 10 am and the second half at 2 pm.

The four impressionist oil paintings of Ye Tian were also auctioned separately, and the two relatively ordinary paintings were put on the morning market and successfully sold.

The two oil paintings were sold at a pretty good price. One was sold for 540,000 U.S. dollars, and the other was sold for 760,000 U.S. dollars, both of which fell into the hands of American collectors!

Paul Cezanne’s two top oil paintings were placed in the afternoon session. This is the highlight of the day and the focus of everyone’s attention.

Ye Tian didn't participate in the morning auction. Instead, he went to Christie's to take a look. There were also antique artworks that belonged to him for auction there, but not many people knew about it!

Time soon came to the afternoon.

At about 1.40, Ye Tian and Jason walked into the Sotheby's Building together to participate in the most important and most watched "Impressionist and Modern Art" auction.

Upon entering the building, they immediately felt the fiery atmosphere here.

There are many high-definition propaganda posters hanging in the hall, especially the two top oil paintings by Paul Cezanne, which can be seen almost everywhere!

In front of these propaganda posters, many hotly discussed visitors, art lovers, art critics, numerous media reporters, and other casual people gathered together!

Everyone is admiring the oil paintings on the promotional materials. Everyone's eyes are shining with excitement, they keep commenting and admiring, and their eyes are full of envy!

However, most of them can only comment or praise here. Many people dare not even think about taking these two oil paintings and turning them into their own private collections! Because it's impossible!

The transaction prices of these two oil paintings must be unattainable prices! It is a huge wealth that the average collector may never have!

Imagine that even Paul Cezanne's still life paintings can be sold at a sky-high price of over 100 million U.S. dollars. How can these two peak works be an exception? Only higher!

The fierce competition surrounding these two oil paintings will only unfold between the billionaires and the top collectors, and everyone else has to step aside!

In addition to the fiery atmosphere, Ye Tian also smelled tension in the air.

At the entrance of the Sotheby's Building, there are four or five police cars parked, both NYPD and FBI, and there is also a special police armored car! The alert level is obviously high.

There are four or five police officers in the hall. There must be more around the auction hall upstairs, so you don't have to ask.

All the people in the security department of Sotheby's Auction House have also been dispatched at this time and are on high alert! They can be seen everywhere in the hall.

It can be seen from their slightly wide coats that these guys are all wearing bulletproof vests, they must be fully armed and ready to respond at any time.

Their key protection targets are mainly the numerous bidders in the auction hall upstairs and the temporary vault behind the auction hall.

Among the bidders in the auction hall, important people abound. Anyone who has an accident is enough for Sotheby's to drink a pot, or even make them go bankrupt!

And the temporary vault behind the auction hall is just a transfer station for auctions, with very limited protection capabilities. They must also be more careful to prevent anyone from starting there!

From now on, in the two or three hours until the auction ends, the police and Sotheby’s security will surely be the most tense time, and they must not let go for a moment!

No wonder they are so nervous, this auction is so important! Paul Cezanne’s two top oil paintings are so famous, maybe there was the idea of ​​that **** playing those two oil paintings!

This kind of thing has happened before, who can guarantee that it won't happen a second time?

Seeing that the police and Sotheby's paid so much attention to the security of this special filming, Ye Tian was relieved a lot. There shouldn't be that bastard's feverish head. At this time, he ran to find his way!

After glanced at the situation in the lobby, Ye Tian walked over to the elevator with Jason.

At this moment, everyone in the hall also spotted them, and two Sotheby's security guards quickly greeted them.

Immediately after them, there were many journalists from the media, carrying cameras and video cameras rushing to this side, all of them excited.

The rest of the people just turned their heads and looked at this side. Everyone's eyes were full of envy. Several New York police officers were also looking at this side, equally envy!

In a blink of an eye, the two Sotheby's security guards came to the front. Walking in front was the old acquaintance Dirk who had fought side by side.

"Steven, why don't you go to the underground garage? There is a dedicated elevator that leads directly to the floor where the auction hall is located. How did you get in from the main entrance?"

Dirk asked in surprise, quite puzzled.

"I know that passage. My car is in the underground garage, but we arrived a bit early. After leaving the car in the garage, we went to Chinatown for dinner. We just came back from Chinatown, so we went to the main entrance!"

Ye Tian explained two sentences, his expression was very relaxed.

The heavyweight auctions basically have exclusive channels for those billionaires and famous collectors who enjoy VIP treatment, as well as important lot holders, and they can go directly to the auction hall.

This can not only provide VIP customers with thoughtful and meticulous service, but also reflect the distinguished identity of the guests, but also for security considerations, not just a marketing gimmick!

As one of Sotheby's most valued customers, Ye Tian naturally enjoys this treatment, but he does not mind whether he enjoys this kind of thoughtful and meticulous service.

At this moment, under his coat, two CZ83s were inserted in the holsters under his arm, ready to attack at any time, with a saber tied to his calf, his safety was not a problem at all.

"So it's like this! Come with me. Go to the auction hall upstairs. There is an exclusive elevator. You must hold an invitation letter or bid qualification certificate and pass identity verification to enter. Others are not allowed to enter that floor!"

Dirk explained a couple of sentences and prepared to take Ye Tian and the others to the exclusive elevator.

"Okay! I said there are so many people in the hall, because they can't get to the auction hall, so they can only stay here!"

Ye Tian said suddenly, and then he was about to start and walk to the exclusive elevator.

At this moment, many media reporters rushed to the front.

These reporters didn't wait for a moment, and they started asking questions loudly before they could get a firm foothold. They all acted impatiently.

"Steven, the auction will begin soon. What are your expectations for these two Paul Cezanne oil paintings today? Can they create new art auction records?"

"That painting will be sold at a higher price? Or? What price do you expect them to be sold at? Tell everyone about it!"

"As far as I know, a lot of billionaires and famous collectors came today. Who do you think will get these two top oil paintings? Tell me about it! I think everyone is very interested in your prediction!"

The scene was noisy, and all reporters were scrambling to ask questions, lest they miss the opportunity.

Seeing this, Ye Tian immediately stretched out his hands and pressed down.

"Ladies and gentlemen, be quiet, everyone, I will answer your questions one by one, and I will definitely give everyone a satisfactory answer!"

The scene soon became quiet, and many reporters looked at Ye Tian, ​​looking forward to the answer.

After thinking for a few seconds, Ye Tian just smiled and said:

"First of all, I would like to thank everyone for your attention. The auction is about to start and time is limited. So I can only answer the few questions that everyone cares about the most. After the auction ends, everyone will naturally know!

A friend from the reporter asked me what I expected of these two top post-impressionist oil paintings? I certainly hope that the higher the transaction price, the better! It's best to create a new record of artwork transactions! That is the perfect result!

These two oil paintings are the works of Paul Cezanne in his peak period. I am not surprised at what miracles they create, everything is possible! "

Upon hearing this, many reporters at the scene could not help but nod their heads in agreement.

Paul Cezanne's oil paintings have been in the sky in recent years, and it is possible to create any miracle. Today, you may witness the miracle happen with your own eyes!

Ye Tian didn't pause for a moment, and continued to say in a spirited expression:

"Personally, I am more optimistic. In comparison, there are fewer paintings in this series. There is only this one in the art market, and the auction price is naturally higher!

As for the expected price, I still said that everything is possible! Let me tell you that these two oil paintings have reserve prices, and they are both above US$50 million! "

Hearing this price, the scene directly exploded! Many people clasped their heads and exclaimed!

"Oh my God! The reserve price above $50 million~www.novelhall.com~ is crazy!"

"I have never heard that the reserve price of that antique art is as high as 50 million US dollars. Today is really an eye-opener! As expected, Steven, as cruel and cruel as the legend!"

While talking frantically, everyone looked at Ye Tian with wide-eyed eyes, eyes full of incredible, full of envy, and their eyes were red!

Ye Tian just smiled and continued talking with ease.

"Who can finally take the two top art works? To be honest, I dare not make predictions, but I can be sure that the bidder who took the two oil paintings must be the most generous guy in the auction hall!

Okay, let’s just answer here. I’m going to the auction hall. Good luck everyone! You will know the result soon, I believe it must be a huge surprise, see you later, everyone! "

After speaking, Ye Tian and Jason immediately started to leave, and followed Dirk to the exclusive elevator.

The reporters still had stunned expressions, staring at Ye Tian's back in a daze, everyone was full of shock.

Steven this **** must be the luckiest guy on earth, he must also be the craziest guy!

Who has heard of two post-impressionist oil paintings with a reserve price of over 100 million US dollars?
